That's where wool sweaters come from

NO, so much potential :-)

Are those real wooly mammoths or just elephants dressed up like wooly mammoths ?

the cave one was done with makeup :-)

This happened to me as well, but I was only posting in threads.

What the hell is going on with this site anymore. Is this a result in the "minor change in policy"?

Wooly Mammoth lives matter.

Vailpass should be along shortly to tell us how he once made out with a 23 year old woolly mammoth with fake tusks in his hot tub. I heard he was alive back then.

Scientists Say They Could Bring Back Woolly Mammoths Within Two Years


"Ahead of the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Boston this week, Professor George Church of Harvard University spoke about the progress his team has made over two years of trying to recreate the genetic blueprint of the long-extinct woolly mammoth. According to Church, a world-renowned geneticist, his team believes it can create a mammoth-elephant hybrid, with many of the recognizable woolly mammoth features, in embryo form within two years.

Since 2015, Church and his fellow scientists have been working to isolate the mammoth genes and splice them into the DNA of an Asian elephant, the closest living relative to the woolly mammoth. To do this, they are using a gene-editing technique known as CRISPR/Cas9, which Church helped develop. Derived from a system bacteria uses to defend against viruses, the tool allows geneticists to “cut and paste” strands of DNA more precisely than ever before.

Up to now, Church and his team have stopped at the at cell stage, but they are moving on to creating embryos blending the mammoth traits with Asian elephant DNA. The resulting hybrid, sometimes referred to as a “mammophant,” would be part elephant, but with distinctive mammoth traits, including small ears, subcutaneous fat, shaggy hair and blood that enables the animal to survive in freezing temperatures.

Despite their progress, the team said it would be many years before they make a serious attempt to produce a living creature. They are planning to grow the embryo within an artificial womb in the laboratory, rather than find a female elephant as a surrogate mother, an ambitious plan that may take more than a decade."


i want a mammophant.

Huhuhuhuhuhhuh he said wooly mammoth huhuhuhuhhuhhuh

Mammoths? meh... I want to see a raptor recreated by implanting an emu egg with raptor dna
